    L245 Glow Plug help

    Russell is very knowledgeable on these older L's! I have a wiring diagram which shows the L245 with series wired GP's although North Idaho Wolfman posted that the wiring diagram was wrong. Manuals are found on Kubotabooks.com The ones here leave a lot to be desired. Kubotabooks.com You cannot...

    Higher Capacity Alternator

    I have suggested the mini DENSO one wire alternator to a number of forum members who reported being quite happy with them. For one thing they are smaller than the Delco units converted to one wire operation which makes them easier to fit unto smaller tractors. This one is 50 amps. Just run...

    Will this mower deck work?

    Steve has a tractor like yours so his advice is valuable. I am going to provide a page from Kubota's Whole Goods book to show you what you need to be looking for when looking for what fits. My info is out of date for your tractor. The Whole Goods stuff is in the sales department not the parts so...

    New owner of a 1989 Kubota B8200 manual shift with loader. First tractor.

    Float is a function or feature built into the loader valve. Start by determining how many hoses connect to the loader valve. 6 or 7. The answer will help advising you on a possible replacement loader valve. Why do you think you need a float feature? Most tractors of the 1960's and 1970's did...

    New owner of a 1989 Kubota B8200 manual shift with loader. First tractor.

    Start by being more specific about the model of B8200 you have. Particularly the transmission. I assume it has 4WD. There is a free Owners' manual on Kubotabooks.com for a manual trans model but many of the other details will be similar if your has a HST. Manual Your intentions are not...

    Tractor Steering Cylinder Question: Mark

    Are you certain your tractor does have such a cylinder? Looking on Messicks parts for a L2350DT I see the power steering models with the power feature integral within the steering box. In the old WSM I have it does talk of some of that years l series having hydro static steering but not the...

    Kabota L 3901 Help

    Besides the letter A is there a number after. If you have an HST tractor you should see A-1. If you see A-0 or A-2 your ECU thinks it is on a different model tractor than yours Dave

    Kabota L 3901 Help

    This suggestion is a shot in the dark but I think worth verifying that the ECU knows it is connected to the correct tractor. Dave

    Any B6100 owners out there?

    Make certain your glow plugs are working. The glow indicator should become noticeably hot if observed out of the sun. This is in the pre heat position. When the key switch is turned to the START position the glow indicator is bypassed and power flows directly to the glow plugs. Each glow plug...

    L 5740 steering issues

    The power steering is separate from other circuits although its pump is mounted to the back of the main pump. Neither of these affects the hydrostatic trans. An internal leak in the power steering cylinder has happened to other forum members on other models and usually produces confusing...

    Rear Remote Dust Caps

    I think you will find the number is 3C001-94520 It is the number for my M7040 and I expect they are the same. This number fits 200+ tractor models. The cap locks open and closes when a quick connect is yanked from the female half. It is like a friction fit around the coupling. Dave

    B6000 4WD

    Drain the oil in the center differential and see what comes out. With the two front wheel acting independent of each other it is not good news! Dave

    B6000 4WD

    When you have both front wheels off the ground, try turning one wheel by hand. The other side wheel should turn in the opposite direction. this test is just to give you an idea how badly stuff could be broken. You will have a pedal to lock the rear differential for situations when traction is...
